Minnesota Food Truck Fair announces big changes

Organizers for the second MN Food Truck Fair say big changes are in store for the fest after backlash over last year's long lines and high ticket prices.

Admission to the fair, to be held from 3 to 8 p.m. June 30, will be free, and it will be held in Uptown instead of the Warehouse District, organizers said.

Tickets last year were $10 to $85, depending on how many samples were purchased, but many people complained that it took nearly an hour to get in the gate and some vendors ran out of food.

To address the scarcity of food, fair organizers have doubled the number of food trucks to at least 30, including such local favorites as AZ Canteen, Gastro Truck, Anchor Fish and Chips, Hola Arepa and World Street Kitchen.

Craft beer vendors will be announced soon. For a full list of food trucks and their menus for the festival, visit mnfoodtruckfair.com.
